2004 Western Conference Finals Game 4
Kevin Garnett led the Timberwolves with 28 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists. It was not enough to combat the Fantastic Four as the Lakers defeated the Wolves 92-85 to take a 3-1 lead in the series. Garnett seemed to be the only person generating any type of offense for the Wolves. Latrell Sprewell couldnt buy a basket and Sam Cassell was bothered by hip and back pain.
The Wolves kept it close until the 3rd quarter, where Kobe erupted for 18 points in the period. The Lakers took a 15 point lead into the 4th quarter. The Wolves were able to cut the lead to 6 but got no closer.
Kevin Garnett had another solid and consistent game for the Wolves, but he didnt have enough help (such is his career with Minnesota). This was Garnett's best season (he did win MVP after all) and the Wolves' deepest playoff run. A win here and the series would have been tied 2-2. Who knows how a Wolves/Pistons Finals could have played out.
R.I.P. Flip Saunders
